I have made frequent inspections of the sanitary conditions of all school buildings and found them to be in accord with the requirements of the Board of Health.
The Diphtheria Clinic was held at the Town Hall in May and June of this year, under the direction and cooperation of the Board of Health, and assisted by Mrs. Lillian Hewitt, I gave three inoculations three weeks apart, of Diphtheria Toxin-Anti- toxin, to forty-seven children; the results obtained were satis- factory.
The Board of Health has requested seventeen physical- X-ray examinations be made at the Plymouth County Hospital in South Hanson, and one new case of tuberculosis has been reported.

REPORT OF SELECTMEN
We have been faced during the year 1943 with continued restrictions due to the national effort to win the war. Your Board of Selectmen has tried to cooperate in every respect with State and Federal authorities.
Post war planning has been given careful consideration and several projects have been reported to the Massachusetts Public Works Planning Committee.
The roads of the town are not in as good condition as we would like, but we have done our best with the material . we could obtain. There were no funds allotted by the State for Chapter 90, new construction this year and probably there will be none available until the end of the war.
The Board wishes to express its appreciation for the fine cooperation it has received from the various departments and the citizens of the town.

"No fuel oil burners shall be installed and no fuel oil in ex- cess of ten (10) gallons shall be kept or stored in any building or other structure without a written permit having been obtained from the Marshall, providing that if building is used for habita- tion, such permit must be obtained from the Head of the Fire Department."
The Department has traveled 4981/2 miles, pumped 381/5 hours, laid 20,625 feet booster hose, 4,750 feet of 21/2 inch hose, 700 feet of 11/2 inch hose, raised 492 feet of ladders and used 75 gallons chemical.

CHIEF 4137 STATION 4137
CAUSES OF FIRES THIS YEAR
Sixty-five per cent of fires this year about equally divided between the following causes: Dirty or defective chimneys, care- lessness with open-air fires, children and matches, incendiary and smoking.
Thirty-five per cent by defective fire-places, short circuits, sparks from heaters, hot ashes in wooden containers, over-heated stoves, smokepipes too near wood-work, static spark and lightning.
Now is a good time to look your house over.
If you are one of the many that sleep above the first floor with only one stairway, what would you do if you awoke in the night with escape by the stairs cut off with smoke or fire? Would you rather lower your family by a rope or take a chance and jump?
99
A traveling man carried a rope in his suit case for over twenty years before using it; he was one of a very few who es- caped from a large hotel in Chicago when it was destroyed by fire. Don't say it can't happen here; it is happening somewhere while you are reading this report.
To keep your fire losses small call your fire department im- mediately on discovering a fire in a building, grassland or woodland.
I wish to thank the Selectmen and all others, who have in any way helped the Fire Department.
To the members of the Department I want to say thanks for your cooperation and good work.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD L. BOURNE,
Chief of Fire Department.

Librarian's Report
To the Trustees of the Public Library:
We find that our circulation for the year remains about the
103
same as last year. We note, as do most libraries through the state a slightly smaller circulation of books due to the many persons working who do not have the leisure for reading, the changes in school hours and continued curtailment in use of cars. Our two voluntary branches, in the North End and in Jerusalem show a circulation of over 500 books for the year.
The improvements for the year were new shelves added in one of the smaller rooms.
We have had numerous gifts of books and several sets of books by standard authors.
A very splendid and beautiful addition is a book-case left to the Library by the late Mrs. Jane Thorpe Dunbar; also a panel picture illustrating a favorite poem written by Mrs. Dunbar.
The staff attended the Boston Book Fair and the Fall meet- ing of the Old Colony Library Club at North Plymouth.
Death has again taken one of our trustees, Mr. Daniel J. Lothrop, who became a trustee in 1911, and was elected chair- man to succeed Rev. E. B. Maglathlin in November 1916.
We are also sorry to have the resignation from the Board of Trustees of Mr. Louis P. Hayden who has moved out of town.
The staff remains the same and will continue to serve to the best of our ability.
Respectfully submitted,
JEAN M. MURDOCK, Librarian.

REPORT OF WATER DEPARTMENT
Work of the Department was very much curtailed during the year 1943 due to conditions brought on by the war.
There was a small amount of new construction with only four new services being installed. Many of the old services were cleaned and repaired.
Due to present government regulations, it is impossible for the Water Department to make any new extentions without first getting the government's approval.
The equipment of the Water Department remains in good condition at the close of the year, and there is a reasonable supply of tools on hand.

REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
No greater service since the inception of the Extension Serv- ice has been rendered Plymouth County towns than in 1943. Under wartime conditions the County Agricultural Agents, Home Demonstration Agents, and 4-H Club Agents of our county of- fice have contributed heavily to the wonderful record of pro- duction. The past year has seen thousands of new producers of food influenced in many ways directly or indirectly by County Aid to Agriculture. A great tribute is due the farmers of Amer- ica for their part in this war effort. The greatest production in history was achieved under the most severe handicaps.
